Not an architectural survey, not a travel guide, and not a pretty coffee table book, this book is simply a directory of Virginia historical markers as they existed, verbatim, in 1993. That's 1993, not 2010, so keep in mind that this book is somewhat dated. Potential readers should know that there is a fourth edition, published in 2007, which brings us up to date with a lot of "culturally sensitive" material.For all that, it is the ONLY guidebook to Virginia landmarks in which I can find reference to Ampthill, the still extant (though relocated) 18th-century plantation house in Richmond's West End. It's time for the fifth edition of the Virginia Landmarks Register!The book includes some useful cross-reference material as well.
